Sadio Mané is currently in a low form at Bayern.

Now he has the backing of sports director Hasan Salihamidzic.

Munich – Is Sadio Mané on the up again after the international break?

After a furious start to the season with three goals in the first three Bundesliga games, the superstar in the FC Bayern Munich squad recently fell into a slump.

Especially in the last few games, the Senegalese didn't seem integrated into Munich's offensive game.

On Sky expert Didi Hamann he looked like a "foreign body in the game" of the German record champions.

Mané's figures are alarming - Salihamidžić shows understanding

This is also proven by the numbers of the last games: In the league matches against FC Augsburg (0-1 defeat) and against VfB Stuttgart (2-2) Mané only had one shot on goal.

For an offensive star of his caliber, these values ​​are alarming.

After the disappointing 1-0 defeat in Augsburg, the Bayern stars went into the international break and Mané used this to gain self-confidence.

In the friendly against Bolivia, he got a penalty and converted it to make it 2-0.

And the 30-year-old also received support from the club.

"Sadio still needs a little time, he has to get used to the Bundesliga, but he will," said sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić

optimistically in an interview with

Sport Bild .

"I know what it's like to arrive as a newcomer to a team, in a different country, in a different city, in a slightly different football culture."

More patience for Mané?

Brazzo: "Everything will soon be more familiar to him"

Mané, who has a special clause integrated into his contract with Bayern, was a permanent fixture in coach Julian Nagelsmann's starting XI from the start of the season.

Bayern number 17 started in ten of the first eleven games.

And despite his experience and the many minutes of play, it seems that Mané needs more patience for his adjustment process in Munich.

Salihamidžić agrees.

"Nevertheless, as an experienced, successful professional, you need to effortlessly absorb the rhythm of your new environment so that you can concentrate fully on football and consistently perform," explains "Brazzo" in

Sport Bild

.

"Sadio is in this process, everything will soon be more familiar to him and we will soon see that on the pitch."

The next endurance test for Mané and Bayern awaits at the weekend against Leverkusen.

With a good performance by the offensive star and above all three points, the criticism that has come from all sides in recent weeks could initially be quieter.

And that gives you time to get used to the new environment.
